Adam is being inducted into the National Honor Society. I am so proud of him. Right now, most of the time, he is just a typical teenage boy who stays in his own world either downloading songs to his ipod or playing his guitar. But then we have days like today when we know he is alive and somewhat of the same world we are. He has proven to be an excellent student and has a desire to go to the University of Alabama. I hope he is able to achieve his dream one day. Roll Tide!!
But more than his academic achievements, Adam is getting an opportunity to defend the Word. He has began a nice little discussion with a fellow student about...you guessed it...the doctrines of grace. Well of course he has been taught these truths very well but has never had an opportunity to see how controversial this discussion can be, even to another teenage boy. Now he is having to prove with scripture references and all to this fellow student what he believes and why.
The whole thing is just exciting to me. The fellow student is a great guy and even told Adam how great it is that they are actually getting into the Word together. Adam has been encouraged not to make this a battle of knowledge or who is right, but just an opportunity to defend what he believes. I pray that this all will ignite a flame in Adam, like it has so many great men of our faith ,to pursue and to know his doctrine, but above all to know his GOD.
Adam, I am so proud of you. I love you very much.
